1	1563	Eustachius describes the adrenals (published by Lancisi in 1714).
2	1849	Thomas Addison, while searching for the cause of pernicious anemia, “stumbles” on a bronzed appearance associated with the adrenal glands—“melasma suprarenale”.
3	1855	Thomas Addison describes the clinical features and autopsy findings in 11 cases of diseases of the suprarenal capsules, at least 6 of which were tuberculous in origin.
4	1856	In adrenalectomy experiments, Brown-Sйquard demonstrates that the adrenal glands are essential for life.
5	1896	William Osler gives an oral glycerin extract derived from pig adrenals and demonstrates clinical benefit in patients with Addison’s disease.
6	1905	Bulloch and Sequeria describe patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
7	1929	Liquid extracts of cortical tissue are used to keep adrenalectomized cats alive indefinitely (Swingle and Pfiffner); subsequently, this extract was used successfully to treat a patient with Addison’s disease (Rowntree and Greene).
8	1932	Harvey Cushing associates the “polyglandular syndrome” of pituitary basophilism, which he first described in 1912, with hyperactivity of the pituitary-adrenal glands.
9	1936	The concept of stress and its effect on pituitary-adrenal function are described by Seyle.
10	1937-1952	Isolation and structural characterization of adrenocortical hormones are reported by Kendall and Reichstein.
11	1943	Li and colleagues isolate pure adrenocorticotropic hormone from sheep pituitary.
12	1950	Hench, Kendall, and Reichstein share Nobel Prize in Medicine for describing the anti-inflammatory effects of cortisone in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
13	1953	Isolation and analysis of the structure of aldosterone are reported by Simpson and Tait.
14	1956	Conn describes primary aldosteronism.
15	1981	Characterization and synthesis of corticotropin-releasing hormone are reported by Vale.
16	1980-present	The “molecular era”: cloning and functional characterization of steroid receptors, steroidogenic enzymes, and adrenal transcription factors are reported, and the molecular basis for human adrenal diseases is defined.

Примечание:
Левая половина схемы. 1. Нижняя полая вена. 2. Чревная артерия. 3. Правая почка. 4. Верхняя брыжеечная артерия.	5. Головка поджелудочной железы. 6. Нижняя брыжеечная артерия. 7. Аорта. 8. Правый мочеточник. 9. Общая подвздошная артерия. 10. Наружная подвздошная артерия.
Правая половина схемы. Надпочечники расположены на верхних полюсах правой и левой почек. Ткань коркового вещества надпочечника раскрашена жёлтым цветом. Ткань мозгового вещества надпочечника раскрашена оранжевым цветом. Округлые структуры серого цвета вне надпочечников - места, где иногда обнаруживают эндокринные ткани, подобные тканям коркового вещества надпочечников и мозгового вещества надпочечников.
